This JCPenney Towel Ad Surprised Me — Here’s Why

Dana’s Good Thing – The JCPenney Towel Ad

Hey y’all, welcome back to Dana’s Good Thing, where I share little things—big or small—that made my day a bit better. This week’s good thing comes straight from my YouTube feed and somehow it’s a JCPenney towel commercial that cracked me up. Yep, you read that right. Read on for the full story…

I know many of y’all are gonna think this week’s good thing is a little kooky, but hey—it made me laugh, so here we are.

This week, I was watching YouTube while working, like usual, when up pops a JCPenney commercial. I’ve barely paid attention to any of their ads lately—just a glance here and there—but this one caught my eye, and I decided to watch the whole thing.

The ad features a comedian named Guillermo Rodriguez. I have to confess, I’d never seen or heard of him before—not that I can recall anyway. The ad is set up like one of those fake news anchor sketches, which usually doesn’t do much for me, but this one? Hilarious is all I can say.

And all that? Just to sell towels.

I won’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it yet, but basically, his roommate or friend didn’t have any towels handy. So, this poor guy ends up stuck in the tub way longer than he should be because he’s afraid to drip water on the floor. You can guess the rest. It really tickled my funny bone. I’ve seen a lot of towel commercials, but none as creative or funny as this one. I was so into it, I wanted to toss the poor guy one of my own towels. 😂

Honestly, JCPenney hasn’t been on my radar in a long time—Kohl’s kind of took over that spot for me. But after this ad? I might have to reconsider. Someone in their marketing department definitely deserves a bonus.

Let’s be honest—most ads are boring, and if we can skip them, we do. But it was refreshing to actually chuckle at one. Maybe I’ll start giving commercials a few seconds of my time, just to see if there’s another little surprise waiting.

So, this week’s Dana’s Good Thing? That JCPenney towel commercial. Not earth-shattering or anything, but if something as simple as a commercial can make me smile and brighten a moment, that’s definitely a good thing.

Thanks for hanging out and reading my little “good thing” this week! Sometimes it’s the unexpected, silly stuff that gives us a little boost.
